Sounds great!

You have a broken IMAP server.  It shouldn't accept different cased names
as being the same, but is.

Yes, of course.

No.

You have a broken IMAP server.  Use a Horde hook to convert the username
to be always the same case at login, and the problem will go away (for
new logins and newly created data at least).

This has been addressed over and over again on the lists, and should be
rather easy to find in the archives.
